BlueBird Adapter converts 3G-SDI video to Ethernet/IP output

BlueBird SDI to H.264 IP Adapter, video format converter HD-SDI, 3G-SDI to IP Ethernet

The latest addition to our BlueBird family of video adapters, the BlueBird SDI – H.264 IP Adapter, converts a 3G/HD-SDI video signal into a low-latency ONVIF compatible Ethernet/IP output.

The adapter contains a high-performance processor device that supports ONVIF and webpage servers. The web server hosts an administration webpage that can be used to control the adapter output. ONVIF compatibility ensures the output stream can integrate seamlessly into a wide range of surveillance, video management systems and automation platforms.

The adapter offers a simple solution for legacy interfaces in older cameras and vision systems which still use 3G/HD-SDI, enabling integration into newer IP-based networks without replacing existing SDI hardware. It also provides extremely low latency IP video output, an essential requirement for real-time applications.

For high-quality video transmission over long cable distances, we have developed a solution using SDI/HD-VLC technology – find out more: Long-reach HD video transmission technologies.

The BlueBird SDI – H.264 IP Adapter complements our range of Harrier Autofocus-Zoom Cameras and Camera Interface Boards. Explore the range to find a total solution for your vision system, or contact us to discuss custom-designing hardware or software for your application.
